So how did those happen?  Can you provide some examples?

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Education for Safe Sharps Handling and Best practices

How are you educating your staff and sharps handing? We have BBP exposure booklets while questionnaires upon hire, and then a computer course yearly. We also have a post exposure computer course that is required, plus the employee is issued a Safety Concern Memo which stays in their file for 12 months and is then shredded, should no other exposures occur in that time frame.  However, we are having some exposures happening in odd ways  and there doesn’t seem to be any common threads.

Any idea on new educational materials or methods would be helpful.

Thanks!
